I remember not being able to read Pandas parquet files using for example Vaex (https://pypi.org/project/vaex/). And it is a bit disgenuine not to enlist all supported arguments of `pandas.read_parquet`'s `*kwargs`. But I agree that Parquet is already 100x better than CSV.
I think they mean don't lease out your research team's GPUs and allow random people to run untrusted code on your cluster, lest they figure out a way to break out of any sandboxing the software has in place and get loose in your network. The company's current answer to that concern is "everything runs inside Docker, configured with security best-practices", which is less than inspiring.

It is about how wood is arguably the most important material in human history. Covers a lot of its useful material properties, and makes very compelling arguments for how wood was instrumental in each era of human development.

Ithaka

As you set out for Ithaka

hope your road is a long one,

full of adventure, full of discovery.

Laistrygonians, Cyclops,

angry Poseidon—don’t be afraid of them:

you’ll never find things like that on your way

as long as you keep your thoughts raised high,

as long as a rare excitement
stirs your spirit and your body.

Laistrygonians, Cyclops,
wild Poseidon—you won’t encounter them

unless you bring them along inside your soul,

unless your soul sets them up in front of you.

Hope your road is a long one.

May there be many summer mornings when,

with what pleasure, what joy,

you enter harbors you’re seeing for the first time;

may you stop at Phoenician trading stations
to buy fine things,

mother of pearl and coral, amber and ebony,

sensual perfume of every kind—

as many sensual perfumes as you can;

and may you visit many Egyptian cities

to learn and go on learning from their scholars.

Keep Ithaka always in your mind.

Arriving there is what you’re destined for.

But don’t hurry the journey at all.

Better if it lasts for years,

so you’re old by the time you reach the island,

wealthy with all you’ve gained on the way,

not expecting Ithaka to make you rich.

Ithaka gave you the marvelous journey.

Without her you wouldn't have set out.

She has nothing left to give you now.

And if you find her poor,

Ithaka won’t have fooled you.

Wise as you will have become,

so full of experience,

you’ll have understood by then what these Ithakas mean.

Wow that is so much better. Thanks for sharing.
Main difference is that we are more opinionated (in terms of configurations) and sort of do the scrolling and sorting out for you – hopefully a bit smoother as a user experience. We sort out bad machines immediately. We're also directly working on making compute from unknown high-end data centers available, there's a lot of unused compute out there! See gpulist.ai

Also, don't know if vast.ai does this, but with us you can have 6 user sessions on your machine if you have six GPUs, so granular utilization is possible.

Definitely, but we will sort out machines that are unreliable quite quickly.

Hanuman: The Divine Protector (Mobile Game)
Hi guys,

We have created this Mobile Game which is based on Lord Hanuman life. It contains many phases of his life from childhood in Chitrakoot to Sri Lanka.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hanuman_the_divine_protector_game.app

Currently, we have added part-1 'Chitrakoot' where he has spend his childhood.

We are working on 'Himalayas' and 'Ram Setu' part which we are working on now and will be launched soon.

Would love your feedbacks. Thanks for your time

> How much of that can be attributed to selection bias though?

The Seattle Public Schools have recently seen a large outflow of parents because of their wretched performance. The performance difference has to be pretty bad for parents to be willing to pony up $20,000 for private tuition.

> so that's just not true

I read the paper. Every single article about the schools has the schools saying they need more revenue, for my entire life. The Seattle Public Schools get $24,000 per student, and they're claiming they need more revenue.

> private corporations

Sure, I have. They all regularly laid off the non-performers, except for the union members.

> GED

I wasn't talking about the GED. I'm talking about the public schools.

> high stakes testing

No, there is no punishment for failing the tests. But the public schools decry those tests because it shows what a bad job the schools do. They also claim that students can master a subject while being unable to answer questions about it. I'm not buying it. Would you get on an airplane with a pilot who flunked his certification tests? Would you take his word that he really was a good pilot? Washington State just lowered the requirements for becoming a lawyer - passing the Bar exam is no longer a requirement. Would you hire such a lawyer? Not me. Next time I need a lawyer, I'll ask if he passed the Bar. I'd move on if he hadn't.

> has this actually happened?

Yes, at the Seattle Public Schools.
You can't just "expect" other people to act for your benefit.

at least german law says otherwise.

and see my other comment. i have never rented with an expectation to move out.

It would be very strange for a willing person to enter a contract which essentially deprives them of control of their property forever.

if the purpose of the property is to be rented out then what more control do you need?
you can terminate a lease if they fail to pay rent or destroy your property, or if you need it for your own family. but why would you want to terminate a lease otherwise? to raise the rent for the next tenant? that's just greed.

unless their rental contract specifies that they are entitled to rent this property forever. I have not seen any such contract so far.

in germany such contracts are the law. no other form of contract is valid unless it is a short term rental for a vacation home or something like that.

I am not sure why would any landlord sign such contract and lose the control of their property

welcome to germany.

That's true, maybe it's the reason why short videos burst into exploding.
That an interesting presumption. If a startup is "Backed by Y Combinator", and it pivots, you don't think that Y Combinator would have some sort of opinion on that?

I would expect some sort of conversation like: "Oh hey, we have another company, in our portfolio, that is far ahead of you, doing exactly the same thing. Maybe you should do something else?"

But of course, this is AI... plenty of space for gpu marketplaces.
JavaFX is a pretty dead project. Especially on mobile where it has zero users. It actually proves parents point, without Google flutter will be too big. Yes, there will be companies who will pick it up and compile it. That's hard, but doable. The problem is that there's a ton of moving parts. Testing alone is a huge task.

Some companies might pick it but then they would only test the use cases they need or a personal fork. It would also sink without the Google brand to back it.

From reading the summary it appears that an SDR would be compliant, plus it wouldopen up the possibility of listening to many other things besides (for one, you wouldn't need a separate FM radio. For another, it could also receive weather data).

They're pretty cheap nowadays even for one-off consumer purchases. I imagine the cost would be minimal on an automaker's scale.

> Still, a savvy eBay seller could flip the processors and RAM across the machines for around $700,000

Three (pretty big) caveats to add:

* Any significant quantity of those CPUs and RAM sticks hitting the used market at once will depress the selling price. So they need to be sold over several years during which the baseline demand (and price) will continue to fall.

* The sale contract had fairly onerous requirements about the professional personnel and methods of removal permitted, all of which will add to the buyer's upfront costs on top of transport, storage and sales costs.

* Since there are known failed components in the lot, all the pulled parts will need to be tested or sold as-is.

I'm surprised it got bids that high and I think the article implying the buyer got a steal is overblown.

Agreed. My main observations from students in my cohort were that those who viewed programming as a set of instructions struggled, whereas those who viewed the course material as a series of manipulations on mathematical objects grasped the material much quicker. In general, the course focused a lot on learning from first principles, which I appreciate much more nowadays.
I assure you a lot of Christians don’t even have a basic understanding of the Mediterranean and Levantine political situation at the time of the gospels (which kind of features heavily in them) let alone anything about contemporary local events in Messianic Judaism and anti-Roman sentiment.

Punishing companies for producing a wildly successful product is a strategy that will result in competitive choice between multiple sub-par products. Strategically that seems kinda dumb.

The question of Google negotiating for default search engine status is just not a big enough problem for regulators to be involved. If the legislators want to ban that as something corporations can do then I suppose that is there prerogative, but the "damage" here to anyone that matters is hard to spot and it remains a bad idea to pile-in on Google. And the legality of preferred search engine arrangements shouldn't hinge on if the product is popular or not. How could it help anyone to ban them only if the product is the best on the market?

Whatever you’re charging now increase it by 25% on your next 3 leads. If all balk at the price, dial it back a bit, find a rate people agree to and repeat the process. If you get sales at the new rate, increase it again until people say no.

If you are Sking yourself the same question as the author, consider an alternative animating force: curiosity.

When you're in a rut, get curious. Pursue projects that make you go "huh, I wonder what's going on there". Pursue people that make you go "huh, I want to hear more from this person".

If you're in a manic tunnel of grinding, I bet you're also in desperate need of curiosity.
JSONPath is good when it comes to querying large JSON documents. But in my opinion, more than this is the need to simplify reading and writing from JSON documents. We use POJOs / model classes which can become a chore for large JSON documents. While it is possible to read paths, I had not seen any tool using which we could read and write JSON paths in a document without using POJOs. And so I wrote unify-jdocs - read and write any JSON path with a single line of code without ever using POJOs. And also use model documents to replace JSONSchema. You can find this library here -> https://github.com/americanexpress/unify-jdocs.
Consuming fewer calories, especially fewer carbohydrates, will help lower your blood insulin, which is the necessary condition that allows adipose tissue to finally release its excess stored energy.

Even though calorie restriction works great in lab rats as the researcher can control what the rat eats and the rat can't do anything about it regardless of how hungry it becomes, it's not that simple with humans, particularly after a year or two, once the initial willpower is lost.

So, rather than fixating on lowering calories without further considerations, a more effective approach is maximizing the satiety obtained per calorie consumed. It's harder than it sounds! One might be tempted to simply consume large quantities of leafy vegetables, but that will only lead to them learning how hunger is a multidimensional experience. What do I mean by that? You can feel your stomach stretched out and full, and still feel hungry, because satiety isn't only triggered by how far your stomach has stretched, nor by the precise number of calories you have consumed.

In practice, in order to maximize satiety one must strike a balance between the volume of the food consumed, its protein content, and the amount of insulin-raising carbohydrates it contains. That's the reason so many people find success in low-carbohydrate diets, which emphasize these three satiety factors rather than the excessively simplistic calorie count approach.
The motivation for the standard, in the fear of a Sun-AT&T alliance, is also an elephant in the room.

Doesn't the fact that Google has to pay so much to be the default mean that Google isn't wielding monopoly power? Apple can command such a high price point is because being the default on Safari is that valuable and folks will happily pay billions for the privilege bidding the price up.
